No rules broken: Man United's last-gasp penalty at Brighton explained
  • Manchester United secured their first win of the 2020/21 Premier League campaign away at Brighton on Saturday.
  • The Red Devils were awarded a penalty after the final whistle at the Amex Stadium thanks to an unprecedented turn of events.
  • Referee Chris Kavanagh blew the final whistle before consulting VAR for a potential Neal Maupay handball after Harry Maguire's effort.
  • And because the incident took place in normal time before the final whistle, VAR was allowed to check the replay and the spot-kick was rewarded.
  • Since the play was brought to end, pressure was on Bruno Fernanades. Had the Portuguese missed but scored the rebound, the goal would not have counted.
